Training
The training and qualification requirements set forth in this Manual are
established by various Program Managers to ensure the readiness of the
unit and boat crews to complete assigned missions or carry out
programmatic responsibilities safely and effectively. The following
paragraphs provide a general description of various training sources and
programs used to assist the unit in the execution of its unit training
program. The availability of individual training sources for each unit
may be dependent on missions and geographic location.
Area or District training teams (TRATEAMs) travel to units and provide
a variety of training solutions. Course Managers, in conjunction with
Commandant (CG-132), may certify this training as equivalent to
resident training completion. TRATEAMS can provide training for PQS
completion; evaluate the skill and knowledge of individual members or
teams (e.g. boarding teams); and act as observers for unit drills or
exercises.
Standardization (STAN) Teams travel to units to evaluate the condition
of standard boats, boat crew proficiency, as well as the knowledge and
skill of individual members. The STAN Team also evaluates unit rescue
and survival systems, boat crew training, and qualification programs. A
STAN Team can provide classroom lectures and provide unit-specific
recommendations to improve boat crew training and qualification
programs.
Coast Guard training commands or Program Managers often “export”
training, sending instructors to the unit. This training may include a
variety of classroom or underway training. Course Managers, in
conjunction with The Office of Training, Workforce Performance and
Development (CG-132), may certify this training as equivalent to
resident training completion. Instruction received may be applied toward
PQS completion.
